Titolo / Title: Modelli di razionalità scientifica nei commenti al De anima. Il caso di un anonimo ed inedito testimone del XIII secolo (ms. Firenze, BNC, Conv. Soppr. G.3.464, ff. 45ra-68vb)

Abstract: The aim of the present work is to reconstruct the divisio scientiarium expounded in an anonymous and unpublished commentary on De anima preserved in ms. Florence, BNC, Conv. Soppr. G.3.464, ff. 45ra-68vb, and to place it within the 13th-century tradition. This will be done by comparing it with the divisiones presented in the prologues of other commentaries on De anima and in the accessus philosophorum circulating in the universities of the same period. The interest in the place of the scientia de anima in the hierarchy of the sciences and its characteristics is clearly evident at the beginning of this anonymous commentary, where the unknown master engages in a broader discussion of the epistemic status of the Aristotelian sciences.

Keywords: Aristotle; On the Soul; science of the soul; Averroes; Adam of Bocfeld; metaphysics; separate substances.
